An impressive room-size Persian Kerman carpet, hand-knotted in wool. The soft ivory field is finely worked with an allover profusion of delicate floral sprays, vines, and palmettes surrounding a central medallion, rendered in rose, sage, slate, and soft gold. A broad, richly colored border of deep blue frames the field, filled with turtle palmettes and scrolling floral cartouches that draw the eye around the whole. Traditional ivory fringe finishes both ends. Kerman carpets, woven in southeastern Iran, are prized for their curvilinear floral drawing, refined detail, and characteristically soft, harmonious palette. This example's generous palace proportions and light ground make it a versatile anchor for a large living room, dining room, or gallery hall. 10.7 x 17.7'
